Chapter 313 Do you know why I didn't stay in Yuchengguan?
Chapter 313 Do you know why I didn't stay in Yuchengguan?
The queen laughed crazily. How could their Zhang family fall to the point where they had to risk their lives for the Great Chu?
And what would happen if the Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor was the son of the former Empress Zhang?
Lu Xinran didn't expect that there was such a hidden story in this.
After all, in the memory of the late emperor, the concubine in the cold palace was not worthy of his attention at all.
If the princes had not been born one after the other, and the Queen Mother's son had not been frail and difficult to raise, he would probably not have thought of swapping the two babies.
The queen wiped away her tears and calmed down for a long time before she said something with gritted teeth under the concerned gazes of the two men.
"Don't mention this matter to anyone else, especially the Zhang family, understand?"
The Zhang family has already shouldered too much. If Zhang Yongping knew that the emperor was actually his sister's child, there's no telling how blindly loyal he would be.
The entire Da Chu is rotten!
Even if that person returns and replaces the current emperor, how much better can he be than this heartless and merciless emperor?
Just by looking at the way he schemes and plots everywhere, and the way he acts without any integrity, and the way he endures for so many years, you can tell how vicious and crazy that man is.
Lu Xinran didn't need to flip through the Queen's booklet to guess her feelings from her expression.
She hesitated and turned to look at Song Junyan, and then she heard Song Junyan respond very cooperatively.
"Sons always listen to their mothers."
"Since you listen to me, let me ask you, do you want the kingdom of Da Chu?"
The words that had never been completely revealed before, at this moment, neither the Queen nor Song Junyan, the mother and son, were willing to avoid it anymore.
Song Junyan met the Queen's inquiring gaze and nodded slowly and solemnly.
"Yes, even without the Queen Mother's help, I will find a way to get this world."
For the sake of the country and the people, he must gain control of this world.
The queen smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I knew I wasn't wrong. Do you know why I didn't stay at Yucheng Pass and was willing to lead the troops back to the capital?"
Her smile became colder and colder. While she was talking, she stood up and faced the painting on the wall with her back to them.
"I will come back so that I can leave with honor and dignity one day. I want to leave with my identity and the supreme glory that belongs to our Zhang family."
Instead of hiding your identity and making yourself unknown in this world.
All the efforts she has made over the years cannot be erased by herself or others.
“Of course, it’s up to you to make this happen.”
She turned around suddenly and looked straight at the young couple.
"The soldiers at Yucheng Pass are mine, so they can be yours. If necessary, you just need to send a letter to Yucheng Pass, and Qi Yu and Zhong Rui will lead the troops across Yanmen Pass."
This was also the reason why she was able to convince the two of them.
The soldiers of the Zhang family will definitely stay in the Zhang family forever.
Did the emperor think that by taking away the Zhang family’s military power, the Zhang family would become a toothless tiger?
The queen smiled grimly: "What are you going to do next? If you need help, go find my father and brother."
As long as the truth is not told to them, they will not have any other thoughts.
Lu Xinran sat aside, almost stunned.
How did the topic fast forward to the point where the queen told them the truth?
And then... Song Junyan was still so calm, not noticing anything was wrong?
"Mother, you..."
She spoke weakly, and before she could finish her words, the Queen looked over with a smile, "Why? Do you think my reaction today exceeded your expectations?"
Lu Xinran nodded weakly. This was indeed beyond her expectations. She initially just thought that maybe she could get some advice from the Queen, which would allow her to be more cautious in the palace.
However, he did not expect that he would gain both military power and the Zhang family's manpower at this time.
"Mother, if we don't tell the Duke about this, they will blame you and me if they find out the truth in the future, right?"
To Zhang Yongping, the emperor was his sister's biological child. With such a close relationship, it was impossible for him not to be moved and willing to sacrifice his life for the emperor.
Moreover, the old lady is still alive. She was the mother of Empress Zhang back then.
The emperor becomes her grandson. When she learns the news, will she want to do something for her grandson?
The Queen sneered: "Strange? Have they forgotten how they were suppressed over the years and how they had to be so careful just to survive?"
Don’t mention that you didn’t know the truth before. That’s human nature. Heartless and cold-blooded people won’t immediately feel affection just because of a change in their status.
Even if there is, it is for use.
Lu Xinran always felt that she heard some gnashing of teeth, but since the queen had already said so, she couldn't question it any further.
Before the morning light penetrated the darkness, the families from various prefectures in the capital who had come to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve party had already arrived outside Changchun Palace.
After staying up all night, Lu Xinran yawned and was horrified to find that he would have to stand for a whole day. He suddenly felt unwell.
But that's how New Year's Eve parties are, and no one can be absent. The Queen gave her a helpless look, signaling her to go to a side hall and close her eyes to relax.
But more and more family members entered the palace, and Changchun Palace was full of people, just like a bustling market among fellow villagers. How could Lu Xinran close his eyes?
She rubbed her face helplessly, called the palace servant to bring some warm water and splashed it on her face several times, and only then did she sober up a little.
The annual party is a melon-eating event for her.
Only this time she was picking among the court officials in a very targeted manner. The prince who had been exiled to the people could use threats and bribes to make Eunuch Fu listen to him, so he must have arranged more than just Eunuch Fu in the capital.
But they still don't know what kind of opportunity he will look for to officially appear in public.
But seeing that the emperor's body was gradually being drained by alcohol and sex, this day should be approaching.
The worst possibility is that after the emperor dies suddenly, that man appears with evidence, and then is supported by the court officials he has won over, and ascends the throne in the chaos.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but scratch her hair.
The square was packed with people, and she had to hide her intentions from others. This was... very difficult.
"Host, health points! Don't forget to save your health points! Without them, we can't move forward, and our lives may even be in danger!"
Seeing that she began to worry about these non-urgent problems, the system began to jump in her mind.
"Just grab someone and start eating melons. There's so much time in the whole day. If you look through more pamphlets, you're sure to find something."
[Well, okay, let’s start with the family of the Minister of Personnel. ]
The family of the Minister of Personnel, who had just stood firm, staggered. What do you mean... starting from their family?
In the Fengtian Hall, the emperor, who was still waiting for an auspicious time, strode out of the hall in big strides.
He can eat melons and maybe even have the property confiscated to fill the national treasury. He can't miss such a good thing.
